At 24, Reina Izutsu has recently become the new president of Izutsu Printing after taking over for her late father. Young and not quite experienced, Reina wants to do her best but unfortunately comes across as harsh with her employees. Stressed and feeling lost, Reina spends an evening drowning her sorrows in beer at an empty park. She rants and vents out loud to the starry sky that she wants to give up and quit being president, just letting off steam. Except, she fails to realize that her subordinate, 37-year-old section chief Kenichi Ishizumi, heard her drunken ramblings!

Anan, a cat-eared demi-human detective, is used to mundane cases—until she’s suddenly partnered with Kanai, a federal agent with spiked hair, dark shades, and secrets of his own. Together, they’re drawn into a series of investigations that blur the line between the criminal and the supernatural!
